Default Driveshaft?

Hey guys so after I get my brake line issue out of he way for my 9 inch, next is the driveshaft.

Plans for the car will e H/C/I maybe some creative weight reduction still able to drive on the street but mainly track use.

Should I get a steel driveshaft? Or an aftermarket bigger aluminum one? If you can reccomend anyone or aything itd be awesome. If not a sight sponsor you can also PM me. Tanks

Thats exactly what I hear people having is an aluminum PST one. Didnt know if they were a sponsor or not. But you think its worth it rather than going to a shop and telling them to make me a steel driveshaft for 125 or so bucks?

well if you do that it has to hold the power you need it for, just bc its steel doesnt mean it wont break

my PST DS has 1350 ujoints and upgraded yokes and so forth so thats why i wont that way

Is it just the yoke and all that that determine the strength of the shaft?

Best deal I found was a Strange 3" Chromoly DS I ordered through Midwest Chassis & Performance, if I recall correctly, it was $285 shipped?
